David Lloyd, of Glamorgan CCC, was on hand to present the trophies to the finalists and T-shirts and certificates to all other schools.

“The aim of the Kwik Cricket competition is to provide children of all levels of ability and experience with an opportunity to regularly participate in a fun, introduction to cricket and to encourage the spirit of cricket,” explained Steve Watkins, Cricket Development officer for Gwent and Mid Wales Council, who organised the event for Cricket Wales.

“This was another excellent competition, and we all wish Rhiwbeina and Evenlode the best of luck as they represent South Wales at Midlands Finals.”

Cricket Wales is the national governing body for junior and recreational senior cricket in Wales. It works closely with Glamorgan County Cricket Club, which governs the men’s professional game. For information visit www.cricketwales.org.uk
